NBAA: Daher-Socata's TBM 850 makes debut

Daher-Socata is displaying its TBM 850 for the first time as it seeks to promote the versatility of this single-engine turboprop within the US market.

"Much of the focus at NBAA is on the use of the light business airplanes to meet rapid business transportation needs in today's challenging economic environment," said the French airframer. "The TBM 850's unique performance-to-cost ratio makes it economically acceptable, and its ability to land at small airports significantly reduces travel time compared to larger aircraft."
